Description
In 1919, in Newfoundland, four teams of aviators came from Britain to compete in "the Big Hop" : an audacious race to be the first to fly, nonstop, across the Atlantic Ocean. One pair of competitors was forced to abandon the journey halfway, and two pairs never made it into the air. Only one team, after a death-defying sixteen-hour flight, made it to Ireland.
